Dontshootthebarman

Surprise winner (25-1) by just over 1l four weeks ago; six wins have been gained over this distance and he's clearly in excellent nick; a rise in the ratings to contend with.

Rondebosch

From a respected stable; good effort when 2½l runner-up in a graduation plate three months ago; jockey booking is a positive; hard to dismiss.

Bob's Your Uncle

J: R Munger

T: M N Houdalakis

Searching for his fifth career win; not disgraced when fourth of nine over 7f at Vaal (handicap) New Year's Eve; clear chance if able to run to the same level as his last win and the handicapper has given him a chance.

Qhawe Lami

J: L Nhlapo

T: C Binda

Comfortably beaten into ninth in a stakes race (Kenilworth) in December; three wins from five runs here but shown only moderate recent form; this looks a fair heat so others appeal more.
